Early Chinese Jades

Pope-Hennessy, Una

Includes a loose leaflet from 1922 by Been Brothers Limited with books published in 1922 and to be published in 1923, were Early Chinese Jades is included. The book description was taken from this leaflet.

In this book the author had synthesised for the benefit of collectors and students of Chinese Art the available information on this obscure but most interesting subject, which has not been dealt with comprehensively since the publication of Dr. Laurel's important archaeological work Jade. The author, herself a collector, has tried to ensure that the illustrations and descriptions of the objects reproduced in this book shall be a practical guide to those desirous of forming a representative collection of early Chinese jades as well as a help in elucidating the many problems involved in an understanding of Chinese symbolism.
